I'm in the hut, officially December 12th at approximately 4pm.

Again, it started in the presence of my boss. Only this month, I was not prepared. I'd been in too much of a rush when I left the house.

Now I'm home from work, armed with Advil, my Keeper, and a new, homemade rainbow flannel rice bag, and a movie. Hopefully tomorrow will not be a typical first full day - (typically extremely heavy and painful) - and I'll be comfortable at work tomorrow night. We shall see.

Standing at the door, peeping in...

Well, after getting back under insurance, I finally got to go back to the gynecologist. It was 'decided' that I have polycystic ovarian syndrome (which I'd already figured, but had no professional to back me up) and will finally be treated for it.

I have had only two periods this year...I went from December of last year until June and then had another in September. The doctor put me on provera to give my body a little push into beginning another. From there on, they will be regulated by the pill. Such. A. Relief.

How long does it take provera to coax the start of bleeding? This is just out of curiosity. I have begun pre-menstrual symptoms and they are a bit harsher than what I've been used to in the past (nearly nothing) and I guess you could say I'm getting impatient. I have a pounding headache and probably only my second or third case of cramps ever. The cramping is severe and is making me nauseous. Is this because I am essentially forcing my menstruation, do you think? What other factors can contribute to unusually acute cramping?

I'm sorry that this is a bunch of questions in one, but your thoughts would be much appreciated.

Hurrah!

Early, and completely unexpectedly in the hut today. I wasn't due until at least Sunday. I can usually feel it coming, but this one just came out of nowhere.

And it means I have one more load of laundry to do before I go back home tomorrow. Boo. But sheesh, this one really snuck up on me.

problem? or not O.o
